I am playing second cornet with not much more to play than repetitive off beat notes as part of the background, easy peasy stuff so I can to some extent look round while playing, when I noticed this hole in the tarmac, too late to do anything though as big guy with drum put one foot in the hole, over he went, rolled right over the drum poor guy. The whole parade had to stop while he got back on his feet and checked the drum was still OK. He had plenty of hair and I reckon it was only his hair stopped an injury as his head hit the ground after rolling over the drum.




That's a really funny mental picture. grin
